Backyard Artificial Turf in Orange County

A backyard turf install isn’t a lawn swap – it’s the end of weekend mowing, the end of the August brown-out, and the end of the irrigation bill. Go Turf installs backyard artificial turf throughout Orange County that holds up for 15 to 20 years, stays green year-round, and handles everything an OC family actually uses the backyard for: kids, dogs, BBQs, and full sun from May through October.

Pricing starts at $7.49 per square foot installed. Every backyard install is backed by a 3-year labor warranty plus the manufacturer’s warranty. Call (970) 274-0100 or request a free on-site quote.

BACKYARD DESIGN IDEAS

Backyard Design Ideas That Work in OC

Backyard turf reads best when it’s part of a broader design – integrated with hardscape, planting beds, and functional zones. Common configurations we install:

Turf and Pavers

The most popular OC backyard combination. Pavers define the entertaining zone; turf fills the open lawn area. Low maintenance, high visual impact. See pavers with artificial grass.

Turf and Putting Green

Landscape turf for the lawn, short-pile golf turf for a dedicated putting surface – one coordinated install. See backyard putting greens.

Turf and Pet Zone

A designated dog area with pet-specific turf and antimicrobial infill adjacent to the family lawn zone with landscape turf. Different specs for different use zones.

Full Backyard Renovation

Turf, pavers, plantings, and features coordinated in a single project. See backyard landscape design.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

How Much Does It Cost to Turf a Typical OC Backyard?

A mid-size 800-1,500 sq ft yard runs $10,000-$22,000 for turf-only installation. Larger yards or projects with pavers run higher. Pricing starts at $7.49/sq ft installed and varies with product grade, base prep, and scope. Request a free itemized estimate.

Can I Combine Artificial Turf With Pavers in My Backyard?

Yes – this is the most popular OC backyard configuration. Pavers and turf work together functionally and visually, and Go Turf installs both as a coordinated single-project scope. See pavers with artificial grass.

What Pile Height Is Best for a Backyard Lawn?

1.5″ to 1.75″ is the standard for OC backyard lawn installs. Natural appearance, durable under family use, and drains well. Shorter pile suits high-traffic or pet-focused zones; taller pile suits decorative areas.

How Long Does Backyard Turf Installation Take?

Most OC backyard installs finish in 2-4 days. Combined turf-and-paver projects run 3-7 days. Schedule is locked at estimate.

Does Artificial Turf Increase Home Value?

Well-maintained artificial turf generally maintains or increases value in OC’s real estate market. Water savings, low maintenance, and year-round curb appeal are valued attributes. Strongest ROI: front-yard installs that improve curb appeal and backyard installs that create functional outdoor living space.

Will the Turf Get Too Hot in Summer?

Standard turf can run warm in full sun. The fix is HydroFill infill, which retains and slowly releases moisture to cool the surface through evaporation – measurable surface temp drop in direct sun. We default to HydroFill in any south-facing or full-sun yard in inland OC.
